Spotless, including the bathrooms. The service was excellent. José was very nice and helpful. A well educated young man. The food! Well, food tasted like homemade food. Serving was huge and the food had an explosion of flavors. The meat was tender and juicy, the chicken was seasoned so well that it didn't taste like chicken. It was so good and it wasn't dry. Shrimp was also delicious. We will come back.

Went on a weekday for lunch & there were plenty of tables. Unfortunately, no salsa bar when we went, but they gave some containers with our order. Carnitas, al pastor, & barbacoa were excellent, but the must-order is the lengua (beef tongue). The meat is literally melt-in-your-mouth & so so tender. We got a lengua taco as well as a lengua torta. Both amazing! The tres leches was good but a bit too sweet & too much cinnamon flavor for my liking. Loved the churros in the bakery portion though. Already planning the next trip back!!

The Food: I always get the tacos here, specifically the Lengua, Al Pastor and the Carne Asada. All the meats were incredibly tender and flavorful, just cooked to perfection. The toppings and salsa just add that extra level of satisfaction to your meal too. The consistency of quality here whenever I visit has always been the same, and that's why I keep coming back here. Portions are also very generous here for the price. The Service: Service was great. I've had both ordering experiences inside the restaurant and outside at their food truck and had no issues with wait times or quality. Overall, a 5/5. Would highly recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for some delicious tacos.

La Jarochita Restaurant - They have an entire concha wall which is always an indication of good things to come. I had lunch here and their food was spot on.

Place appeared clean and not crazy loud. Staff (Amber) was pleasant and professional. Me and her each got three tacos apiece - her the vegan asada ($6), Brussels sprout ($6) and falafel tacos ($6). The falafel had a nice crunch, and the carne asada was very meat-like and tasty. The jerk chicken taco ($5.50) had a surprisingly slick kick, more than the honey habanero shrimp ($8). The chicken al pastor ($5) was perfectly decent. All 6 were well-stuffed - almost a sandwich worth in each. I was especially hungry going in and contemplated getting an appetizer; glad I didn't. This is a nice joint, and well worth seeking out if in the Manassas area.

They had a sidewalk sign advertising their specials so my curiosity got me. They chip & salsa you at the outset, the chips were fresh, warm and tasty...the salsa meeh. I was impressed at the size of this place. Enough room for several pool tables and it appears that for the weekend, they can turn this place from restaurant/game room/bar to 'club'. I tried a couple of chicken tacos and was pleased. You have a choice of soft flour tortillas or had corn. The chicken was generous and tasty. I really like that they briing the cheese, tomatoes, cilantro and fresh lime on a side plate. I was disappointed with the salsa, it was was void of any real flavor. It was more like tomoato soup with tabasco sauce in it. They have a very good menu with a good selection of seafood, beef, chicken & pork. I'll be going back to try some other menu items...also interested to try their sopa de polo.

The lady owner (im not sure of her name) has provided some great service and hospitality. Her interaction with the patrons go far and beyond which I love!
